If we write 3 in the bottom-center square, then the

Two of the grids must use the same number twice. So,
we cross out those grids out and keep the only solution.

we circle. We find 22+48 =70.
11@34@88
153. If both numbers are less than 50, their sum will be less
than 50+50 = 100. So, one number must be at least 50.
158. Two numbers that sum to 796 have ones digits whose
444+1114+111+444
=
Seabees
55 ete OO
= 555 + 555
176. We can pair all of the numbers that end in 0 to get 179. For a sum of three numbers to have ones digit 3, the
10+20+30+40 = 100. sum of their ones digits must end in 3.
Then, we add the remaining numbers to get The smallest possible sum of three ones digits in the list
11+22+33=66. is 5+6+7=18, and the largest sum is 7+8+9 = 24.
The only number from 18 to 24 with ones digit 3 is 23, so
Finally, 100+66 = 166.
the sum of the ones digits must be 23.
10+11+20+22+30+33+40 The only three ones digits in the list that have a sum of
— — 23 are 6, 8, and 9, since 6+8+9 = 23.
100 + 66 So, Grogg’s numbers are 56, 78, and 89, and Grogg’s
sum is 56+78+89 = 223.
180. To make the sum as small as possible, we start by
making the hundreds digits of all three numbers as small
as possible. We cannot write a 0 in the hundreds place.
So, we use 1, 2, and 3 as the hundreds digits of our three
numbers.
